Christmas makes me feel kind of melancholy because of the memories of people who are gone, that I’ll never see again, that I find myself remembering. It’s not bad to miss absent friends and loved ones, but it is a certain kind of sadness. It’s one I feel every December 25th. And it’s one I’m feeling today.

I’m listening to Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots. You can probably figure out why.

There may be spoilers for Legion, depends on what questions y’all asked. If you didn’t ask any WoW or Blizzard questions at all, I may just ramble. Who knows? Not me. I’m winging this one.

Today is that magical day of the year, you know the one -- the one where all the presents under the Winter Veil tree show up!

Priest healing specs aren’t open yet on the Legion alpha (obviously they’re too busy making us perfect right?), but Priest Artifact weapons and talent trees have made an initial appearance.

Dear Greatfather Winter, I have been very good somewhat good significantly less evil than I could have been this year.

Due to members of our stream team partaking in holiday festivities later today, we’ll be streaming today at 12 p.m.

The holiday season can get quiet in the gaming world as we’re all pulled into real-world commitments and away from our favorite games. And that’s not to even mention that Blizzard’s already gone quiet for the holidays, with little in the way of updates and both the Overwatch and Legion betas closed.

Plus you lot spent most of yesterday’s Queue talking about Christmas movies.

What I’m saying is that doesn’t give us a lot of ground to cover, so today Mitch and I are answering your questions Cho’gall style (only I think we agree a little more often than Cho and Gall). So, enjoy today’s silliness — and please leave questions for tomorrow’s Queue, because we’re sure to need them to help fill out the holiday weekend.

Cheers!

I keep a lot of fairly common traditions this time of year.

Zeitgeist literally means 'time ghost' in German, but that's not what we're talking about.

Welcome to the 49th episode of Blizzard Watch's podcast!

As we make our way through the Winter Veil season, updated builds of the Legion alpha have been released, and with them we are starting to get our first looks at both the Restoration Shaman spells and abilities as well as the Restoration Shaman Artifact, the Scepter of Azshara.
